Quick thread: I'm deleting my Twitter ASAP. The reason I'm going is I was nearly killed today by a driver obstructing a drop kerb & tactile paving. He drove at me as my carer photographed him, as I tried to negotiate a higher kerb because he was obstructing the drop kerb. @YPLAC

It's all well & good me raising awareness of #PavementParking & pavement obstructions but it's not worth me losing my life for. You can see the damage caused to my wheelchair & I'm just grateful it wasn't me who was damaged, physically anyway, but my heart's still racing from it.

I'm 85 & I just want to get out as much as possible before the next full lockdown. I enjoy the fresh air & have to travel a couple of miles to get it. My carer pushes me to a lovely park most days & I'm in heaven sitting there watching the wildlife. I hope to continue doing that.

We're both going to be a lot more cautious in the future & not be as naive as in the past - taking photos of vehicles illegally obstructing our way. It's not worth the hassle. I've had a few 'discussions' in the past with drivers illegally parking but nothing like today.
